D. Stagpoole, of Paynter’s Avenue, was married to Reginald George Burgess, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Burgess, of New Plymouth. The Rev. G. T. Beale officiated and Mr. P. C. Fredric presided at the organ. The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her father, was daintily attired ih a frock of ivory taffeta cut on simple lines, with a tight-fitting bodice and full skirt with scalloped tulle hem and finished at the hip with a taffeta bow and sprays of lilies of the valley. Her beautiful veil fell to form a train from a coronet of real lace and orange blossoms. She carried a shower bouquet of pale pink roses, primulas and maiden-hair fern, with streamers of ribbon. She was' attended by her sister, Miss Moana Stagpoole, Miss Doreen Burgess, sister of the bridegroom, and Miss Eileen Payne', all wearing pale blue satin frocks with insets of apricot lace and tulle hems, finished with silver roses, headbands of tulle and silver roses, silver shoes and stockings, and carried posies of cinerarias, maidenhair fern and streamers of ribbon.

ried baskets of roses and pale pink daisies.

Having narrowed down to a type that could be classified as something between classic and staple, without any special pretention to individuality, the beaded dress is recovering its claim to distinction this season. Through Chanel’s decision it appears in an allover closely embroidered version, in a most delicate vermicelli pattern that utilises tiny light-weight crystal bugles. In view of the covered design a mannequin was questioned as to the possible heaviness of the gown, but it was disclosed that because of the even distribution of the weight the pull that is so often found in other types of beaded frocks, with designs in one spot, is entirely absent. Xot just little tufts of ostrich, but thick, luscious plumes fully a foot long, on the shoulder or at the waistline, or at both points, provide a feature of new I evening frocks, altogether in keeping i with the floating, almost raggy sil- | houette that now is fostered.
